Him too, Sergio should go up and fight Bute, Ward, Froch, doesn't matter if he looses, at least he got inside the ring with the best in a HIGHER WEIGHT DIVISION, he has done it one time before vs Pavlik, but Martinez is not claiming to be the greatest fighter that ever lived, if Floyd is even top 30, why not fight the best at 154 or 160, Duran did it, Armstrong did it, Floyd can do it, will he? I doubt it:verysad
:deal How can Floyd say he's too small to go up and fight at 160, Duran, Napoles, and Armstrong being shorter men fought the best at 160, that's why Floyd will never be among the top 30 greatest of all time, Floyd doesn't take risks. :-(
What does the word "seems" mean to you? :smoke Let's have Floyd vs Martinez for Pound for Pound supremacy :good
De La Hoya also ducked Tszyu to fight Chavez. He had good reasons though, Tszyu wasn't that well known or proven and he lost to Vince Phillips later when a fight was in the works. Oscar did go on though to fight Quartey, Whitaker and Trinidad in like two years at welter, and followed it up with an undefeated Mosley. Puts Mayweather's six-year welterweight resume to shame.
About your avy fred, Pac didn't even raise his hands and had his head down after Mosley fight :smoke It's all about what one expects of what Pac should do which he gamely obliges and tries to achieve. :smoke But even the greatest one can't do 'em all :good
:good De La Hoya showed how a true P4P #1 contender seeks challenges to prove themselves and tries to earn that mantle. Oscar fought SEVEN guys who were at one stage or another considered P4P #1 in their careers, from JWW to MW after starting at lightweight/super feather. FIVE of them he fought in their absolute prime. THREE of them were reigning P4P #1's, he fought in his 30's. Mayweather has only managed to fight TWO former P4P #1's when THEY were well into their thirties. He managed NOT to fight the only prime and reigning P4P #1 he's ever encountered in his career for THREE years, despite having been in the same division all that time.:-(
Alright, but when Cotto fought Margarito the first time, correct me if I'm wrong... Oscar said he was going to face the winner where he was expecting and banking to fight a smaller Cotto... Margarito won, and that was all she wrote for Oscar... no Maragarito Fight as he probably figured Margarito was too big :smoke The same goes for Oscar when Pac faced Hatton. He was banking for a Hatton win so he can face him, but Pac shocked the world :smoke But it's a good thing Oscar faced pac....he did not duck this time :good
What the **** Floyd is almost three inches bigger than Pac? atsch He is actually closer to Martinez in Size than with Pac!!! :smoke ****ing hell....a separate thread should be made for this Sunn the man! :good:smoke
